Meghan echoes Princess Diana

Meghan Markle looked just like her late mother-in-law during her visit to Geneva last week. 

The Duchess, 44, opted for a breezy spring look featuring a 'Cotton Silk Double-Face Sheath Dress in Lilac' by Akris, as identified by Royal British Fashion on Instagram.

The scoop neck dress looked like a 2026 spin on Princess Diana's beautiful lilac dress from 1996. 

See the stunning look here - plus all the details.

Archie and Lilibet's adorable singing voices!

We may not have seen their faces, but we got a glimpse of Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet's adorable singing voices last night! 

In an adorable video shared by Meghan last night, her children sang "happy anniversary" to the tune of "happy birthday". 

At the same time, Harry brought in a lemon and elderflower cake, the same as their wedding cake.

Duchess Sophie urges action on sight loss

The Duchess of Edinburgh has been in Geneva this week. 

She addressed the World Health Assembly for the first time, underlining the importance of addressing preventable blindness - one of her most cherished causes. 

Her Royal Highness said more than one billion people are living with preventable or treatable sight loss "not through any lack of solutions, but through a lack of sustained, prioritised action."

She said: "The value of vision is just not a moral argument but an economic argument. The case for investment is more than compelling. Every dollar invested in eye health in low- and middle-income countries generates an estimated twenty-eight dollars in economic returns.”   

"Eye health accounts for up to ten per cent of patient consultations in many low- and middle-income countries yet receives less than one per cent of national health budgets. That gap is not sustainable. And it is not justifiable."
